Why “Eat Less, Move More” Doesn’t Work

from American Glutton

Why is obesity so difficult to reverse even when people try to eat less? In this episode, Ethan sits down with Dr. Jason Fung, nephrologist and author of The Obesity Code and The Diabetes Code, to unpack the hormonal science behind weight gain, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. They explore why the calorie model of weight loss often fails, how insulin drives fat storage, and why fasting can be a powerful metabolic tool. The conversation also touches on addiction, modern food environments, and sustainable approaches to health.If you enjoyed this conversation, sign up for Ethan’s newsletter for more insights and updates:https://ethansuplee.substack.com/subscribeSHOW HIGHLIGHTSIntroduction to Dr. Jason FungType 1 vs Type 2 DiabetesThe Problem with the Calorie ModelWhy Eating Less Often FailsHormones and Weight GainInsulin Resistance ExplainedThe Role of FastingFood Environment and AddictionWhy Processed Food Is So Powerful Hosted on Acast.
